No, it is Stord in Norvay, few miles SW from Bergen. ICAO code ENSO. Unfortunately, this airport is too small for serious event. It looks like a carrier with 1500 meters long deck. If You will make mistake in approach, landing and roll out, You will need swimming dress
Strong headwind is very good friend.
